ADOLF LOSS

• Along with his theory, his conception of the raumplan or plan of volumes , gradually evolved.
• As a interior designer he believed that as much as possible should be built in. If not possible or desirable then the furniture had to be of top craftsmanship, but not fancy. Quality material and workmanship were, for loos, the ultimate expression of aesthetic excellence.
• He believed -“ To seek beauty only in form and not in ornament is the foal to which all humanity is striving”

ALVAR ALTO

• Finland’s first Modernists.
• His unique architectural style is characterized by asymmetry, curved lines, and contrasting natural materials.
• His early works were flavored with a "heroic functionalism" that was based around the idea that a structure's use should determine its form.
• His philosophy -: "There are only two things in art -- humanity or its lack. The mere form, some detail in itself, does not create humanity. We have today enough of superficial and rather bad architecture which is modern."
• Aalto also created glassware, jewelry, furniture, interiors, and paintings. In 1932, he designed a new kind of laminated plywood furniture and won a number of design awards for his work on household and industrial items.

CARLO BUGATTI

Carlo Bugatti's furniture combines the picturesque asymmetry of Art Nouveau with the exoticism of Moorish and Japanese influences. However, it is pure fantasy, drawing inspiration from the Orientalist art movement of the latenineteenth century

• His designs are wild, exciting, innovative, and sometimes simply just too much. The forms are asymmetrical, curvilinear, and ovoid, while the surfaces are stenciled, inlaid, bronzed, and tassled -- usually all at once.
• Chairs, tables, and silverware often boast abstract insect forms as adornment. His works teeter between the imaginatively tasteful and the gaudy; not surprisingly, the designer gained reknown for his extravagance and eccentricity. Walnut, copper, pewter, vellum; H. 29 1/2 in. (74.9 cm), W. 23 5/8 in. (60 cm), D. 22 1/2 in. (57.2 cm)

The writing surface of this desk is covered in vellum, held in place with punched copper strapping; the walnut legs are inlaid with pewter imitating calligraphic brush painting. The unusual profile of the desk suggests the jaws and teeth of an alligato.

Theme residences are pretty much in demand by the home buyers of the middle class families

Theme residences are pretty much in demand by the home buyers of the middle class families. Residential communities in India have grown exponentialy over the period of time. We often wonder how certain places like hotels, resorts are designed as everything and all the elements in the residence are so harmonious. But the frequency of elements will only be tuned when right thing is placed at the right place.

Theme based residences is something coming out of the customers choice as customers want their home to look unique from inside out and rather than investing on simple interiors buyers are preferring to invest in theme based properties or interior designing.

A theme is nothing but transforming an idea or imagination into the real world or into the physical form. Most of the ideas can be picked from internet but still you can some of your custom themes eg. if your kid likes any cartoon character a lot, then children's room can be designed based on their character liking eg Chota Bheem is very famous among Indian kids these days. One should be very careful when it comes to selecting themes. Themse should go along with the individuals personality likes dislikes and taste.

For a person who loves trekking or jungle trips he can always have a theme based on some water fall. The person can display Jog Falls or Niagra Falls as the theme. He can have some water bodies inside or outside the house.

---

Whenever desiging a theme, buyer should always be able to connect himself with the theme.

It will be pointless to say as everyone has a unique personality and choice so there are lots and lots of theme ideas. It is just we need to understand what we want out of themes.

---

Do a thorugh research before designing themes. Make sure you do a local market research in order to make sure the items required for the theme will be available like sculptures, carpets, mirror frames, handicraft textiles which will add more to home decor. Here is one tip which you can try for a very low cost. You can buy wall stickers which come in different designs are available for a decent price on www.amazon.in www.flipkart.com and www.snapdeal.com Only downside of having a theme is after a period of time one may feel bored of the theme and may want to change.
